Bit of a miserable day all round. Obita and Pog's injuries being the icing on top of the cake. At present the only criteria to get into the Reading team is being fit. It's clear that we've got too many players playing out of position. Hopefully once we've made an addition or two and got our other pl...

Right now I would say: -------------Federici------------- Gunter--Hector--Pearce--Obita ----------------Karacan--------------- -------Guthrie------Williams------- McCleary-----------------------HRK -------------Pogrebnyak------------ Haven't seen enough of Cox and Mackie yet to decide whether they s...

Personally I think the 1st goal is Hector's fault, however I do accept a better player may have sensed the danger and not caught like Akpan did.

Jinx Obita LB, Akpan, Kuhl in the middle, Blackman left, Mackie right for the next game

Mackie ineligible for Forest I believe.

Do have to say aswell Jake Taylor didn't really do anything tonight. Really like the lad and you can see he's Reading through & through, but looks a little out of his depth. That said he's out of position, so may well benefit with some game time in his preferred role.

Having Federici and Hector in the team has definitely helped us with playing the ball around the back and I think that will benefit us in the long run. Midfield is the obvious cause for concern. Akpan is not adventurous enough for me, always plays the simple pass, whereas we really need someone who ...

Don't believe any of the stories on here. If the new owners did want Royston to stay surely he would be training with the first team again by now. Considering we've already bought in Mackie, Cox, Ferdinand and soon Norwood before the takeover is ratified, I don't see why we would be waiting off on r...

Yes however Leicester released him, I doubt St Ledger had much say in the matter. Having a quick glance on his wiki, it shows that he played 1 league game for Leicester last season and that was all... I'm not sure so its just a case of fans doing the typical "ah well he wasn't very good anyways...

My Leicester supporting friends seem to think St Ledger was awful & more than happy to be rid of him.

Thought hector was pretty poor today tbh kept trying to nick the ball in front of mcgoldrick and murphy and leaving us a bit exposed, ill give him the benefit of the doubt though as its his first game at cb for a while and the midfield offered very little protection today. Sorry SC but that is one ...

Can't speak higher of his performance today. Solid defensively, great on the ball. Have to admit with Morrison gone I thought we'd need a new centre back in, but on that performance Hector has earned that place.

Royal Ginger Cardiff must be up shit creek on FFP. How are they affording this team they're assembling?

Selling Medel, Campbell, Caulker & Mutch would help! Remember we didn't exactly sell many of our players when we came down last season. The likes of Morro & Alfie won't be on ridiculous wages.

The whole situation has got mutual termination in September/October written all over it.

Obita was excellent when moved to the left, and it gave Blackman more space to work his magic down the right. Good to hear that. I'm hoping we can get a specialist left back in and move Obita forward. In regards to Taylor & Edwards, I only saw the Swansea pre-season game, however I thought they...

IMO Morrison is the weak link rather than Pearce.

howser Well never saw that point coming our way, according to all reports we played an all round good game. One minor concern though, he hit the woodwork twice and sounds like he played well so who the hell will be this season whipping boy if Blackman keeps performing like this ??

Akpan, obvs.

Genuinely thought we could get spanked today. Whilst its gutting to concede a last minute equaliser, a point & the manner of the performance is very pleasing.

Well I am totally dumb(struck)! I felt this was a nailed on Wigan easy win. Shows just exactly what I know about football. Is Adkins a miracle worker?? Long way to go, but still better than losing! I don't want to take anything away from those on the pitch, but this doesn't sound like the same wiga...

I've never really understood people who make a point of the difference between playing left centre back and right centre back. In reality the difference between the two positions is minimal.

Gordons Cumming When is Karacan due back?

Nothing official from the club, but I get the impression it'll be a month or so before we see him back.
